A remote experiment system provided with individual guidance function and report preparation support function

In conventional university education, lecture classes have been restricted within the university campus. However, with the progress of Internet technologies, university education is expanding beyond the campus in the form of remote classes via the Internet to give students and adults the chances to acquire higher educations. University education in science and engineering requires laboratory experiments allowing the student to get extensive and practical knowledge, so the methods for performing experiments remotely have been researched. When the students conduct remote experiments with no teachers beside, a function to provide teaching assistance and a function to provide report preparation support are very useful, we consider. In this paper we propose an experiment system for performing remote student experiments that provides a teaching assistance function and a report preparation support function and also the prototype of the remote experiment system we developed and its evaluation are described.
